Chapter 58: Scrambled eggs with wild garlic
(Thank you for the reward of Daxia Pot Chong, Brother Dong L, and Brother Hei 1973, thank you!) )
Wild garlic looks like a leek and a bit like an onion, which is a particularly delicious wild vegetable. In this cold season, the grass in the wild still grows, and the wild garlic scrambled eggs can definitely be fragrant for ten miles, and I want to eat it once and think twice.
The wild garlic has been selected and verdant, Li Xiao picked up the kitchen knife and simply cut it into several sections.
"The eggs, the eggs that just laid today, are all big heads." Lao He handed over the three eggs. The eggs laid by authentic old hens, and the eggs laid by old hens more than three years old, are very large.
The eggshell is very thin and breaks when you knock it, and the egg liquid flows out, and the yolk has a little red.
A handful of wild garlic and three eggs are scrambled, and Li Xiao is now also generous.
Crack the eggs and stir.
The pot on the stove over there was already hot, and Li Xiao poured freshly ground sesame oil. Without vegetable oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, green tea oil, etc., Li Xiao specially got some sesame grinding oil yesterday.
The ground sesame oil has a peculiar fragrance that can be smelled from afar.
Stir-frying vegetables in sesame oil is luxurious enough.
When the oil is in the pan, it bakes a greater fragrance, and everyone can't help but inhale deeply.
Li Xiao, who is experienced, does not need to pour some egg liquid to test the oil temperature, and knows the best time to put the egg liquid in the pot with experience.
The stirred golden half bowl of egg mixture was poured into the oil pan and exploded immediately. The egg liquid expands rapidly, like a blooming yellow flower.
"Wow, that's pretty."
It's the first time we've seen eggs look so good, how can boiled eggs or boiled eggs be so magical and good-looking, not to mention that the biggest special thing about scrambled eggs is fragrant.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the fragrance is ten miles away.
Li Xiao calmly picked up the banknote, stirred it quickly in the pot a few times, and the blooming egg flowers broke open, and saw that the egg side was slightly browned, Li Xiao immediately put the wild garlic in the pot.
"Fire up!" Li Xiao explained to the pillar that burned the fire, and took a shovel to stir-fry the wild garlic and eggs in the pot. One yellow and one green, quickly blended.
The fire is raging.
Li Xiao directly held the handle of the pot in one hand and the spoon in the other, and began to turn the pot.
A set of movements is smooth, and everyone is the same as watching acrobatics. Unexpectedly, this strange pot has such a novel way to cook, not only the dishes are fragrant, but also the action is so good-looking.
Stir-fried vegetables, especially dishes like scrambled eggs with wild garlic, in fact, the most important thing is one word, fry quickly on high heat, and you can get out of the pot with a few efforts, the fire is small, and it is not delicious after frying for a long time.
There was no chicken essence and no other seasonings, Li Xiao only added some refined salt to the pot, and then started the pot.
A plate of scrambled eggs with wild garlic with green and yellow is ready.
Is this dish only half a star, a full novice dish, simple, but everyone was stunned and amazed.
"You don't need to add water to cook!" Lao He, who has been a cook all his life, sighed.
"It's just a blink of an eye, right?"
Li Zhen, who had just finished class, squeezed over and kept sniffing, "It's so fragrant!" ”
Li Xiao saw that everyone was staring at the dish, and said with a smile, "Scrambled eggs with wild garlic, it's done, let's try the dish and give an evaluation." ”
Doctor Zhao came up unceremoniously, picked up the chopsticks and clamped a little, put them in his mouth and just took a bite, his eyes widened.
"Isn't it delicious?" Li Zhen asked.
Mr. Zhao didn't answer, but ate it in a big gulp, and immediately put another chopstick into his mouth, and now everyone knew it was delicious.
"I can't imagine that two things as ordinary as wild garlic and eggs can make such a delicious dish, it's amazing." Mr. Zhao was amazed, he still wanted to clip it for the third time, and Yang Dayan, who was still stained with chalk ash on his body, came up very unceremoniously, "Leave some for everyone." ”
Yang Dayan took a bite, and immediately couldn't help but clip the second chopstick.
"I can't imagine that the oil from the sesame seed mill can not only light the lamp, but also cook the food, and it can be so fragrant."
Tang people eat very little vegetable oil, generally vegetable oil is used as lamp oil, usually cooking because of the main stew, so eat more animal oil, such as mutton fat, lard. Sesame oil is used to fry food, and it is more often used by a few large households or some restaurants to fry food.
You have a chopstick, I have a chopstick, a plate of wild garlic scrambled eggs, and it hasn't been a moment since I saw the bottom.
Everyone who has eaten it looks like they can't get enough of it.
Those who didn't make it to the point where they couldn't take a bite were heartbroken and cried out for pity.
"San Lang, tell us, why is it magical?" Mr. Zhao thinks that the key to this dish is so delicious is this peculiar pot and this novel cooking method.
"This pot has a wide mouth and a small bottom, and the pot is relatively thin, which makes it easier to heat, so it is most suitable for stir-frying. Adding sesame oil to a wok and stir-frying vegetables like wild garlic is the best way to cook it. ”
Wok, stir-fry, Mr. Zhao, who listened to these new words, nodded again and again.
Even Lao Wang, the blacksmith who had always thought that Li Xiao's strange pot had made him waste iron, was silent at this time, it was obvious that he was wrong to blame Li Xiao, although this pot looked strange, but I didn't expect it to be so suitable for this new cooking method of stir-frying.
"Is this wok only suitable for stir-frying vegetables?"
"Of course, stir-frying, like steaming and stewing, is a way of cooking, and in this way, a wide variety of dishes can be processed. It can not only stir-fry vegetables, but also stir-fry meat, and even fried rice, fried noodles, and fried cakes. ”
Li Zhen licked her tongue, "Brother, I will have to eat stir-fried vegetables in the future." ”
"Okay, brother will give you stir-fry vegetables every day in the future."
Compared with Li Zhen, who only focused on eating, Wan Niang saw some problems, "San Lang, can you only use sesame oil for stir-frying?" ”
"It's not that you can only use sesame oil, but it's better to use sesame oil, sesame oil is not easy to solidify, and the oil smoke is smaller, so it's not so suitable to use lard and mutton fat. In addition to sesame oil, if there is soybean oil, tea oil, etc., it can also be fried. ”
Li Xiao explained to Wan Niang.
"It's still quite troublesome to eat stir-fried vegetables, and sesame oil is not cheap." Wan Niang said from another economic point of view, the price of sesame oil is indeed not cheap, and ordinary people can't afford it. And Wan Niang just found out that there is still a lot of oil used in stir-frying, and it is not good to do less, this stir-fry still needs a special wok, and sesame oil must be used, which is really not what ordinary people eat.
Usually ordinary people cook at home, just put a little salt in the dish, occasionally put a little mutton fat, lard, but also very little, a little oil on the line, more can not afford to eat.
As Li Xiao did just now, the oil in a wild garlic scrambled egg is enough to make three or five days of cooking oil.
In this way, there are many people who find this problem, stir-fried food is delicious, but it is not cheap.
"It seems that I won't be able to eat stir-fried vegetables often in the future." Mr. Zhao has some regrets.
"This stir-fry is so delicious, and our family is the only one, you said that if we go to Lanxi Street to open a restaurant and launch stir-fried dishes, will there be a shortage of diners, and the supply will exceed demand?" Li Xiao's former dog-headed military advisor and current private school gentleman, Yang Dayan, came up with an idea while reminiscing about wild garlic eggs.
